Our PySide integration is not the one from Steven because I wasn't able
to
get the windowing stuff right on Linux, so I wrote a python plugin that
handle the QApplication creation/destruction and uses a timer event to
force the Qt loop update. It's still a little bit rough and the Qt
dialogs
are not parented to the Softimage window but so far it's stable and
completely usable.
I tried creating the QApplication and the hidden anchor window directly
via Python instead of using a compiled C++ plugin too (on Windoze, not
Linux) but got nothing but crashes. I found the prospect of making due
without a plugin that needs to be recompiled for every Softimage version
(I know reality looks different, but at least on paper) very appealing. I
even tried to implement all the mouse hooks via Python (there was a thread
about this some months ago), but I gave up after a day due to lack of
time. PyHok might be an alternative, but chances are good it wouldn't work
on Linux.
I imagine there are a couple of people on this list who'd love to get
PySide for Soft up and running on Linux, even if it is not responding to
mouse events. Do you mind sharing how you did it?
Anyway, I'm in to beta test a unified QtForSoftimage plugin on win and
linux.

Would love to try it out Steven but I don't have time right now :(
I prefer to use PySide instead of PyQT so this is very welcomed.

The difference is pySide isn't licensing hell, and AD is going that
way.
I reckon that's reason enough to do whatever we can to speed up
adoption
and finding rough edges as soon as possible ;)

Can I ask what's the main differences between PySide and PyQt4 ?
Is that just licensing ?

Hey Gang
Tony Barbieri and I have been working on official support for PySide
with the PyQtForSoftimage plugin and I need some testers...
Who here wants to use PySide instead of PyQt4? It is a little rough
right now so, only people that really want to use PySide should
contact me.
Thanks
Steven
